Seven Seconds to Midnight

A game made for Ludum Dare 50

"Delay the inevitable"

Welp it’s finally here… with just seven seconds to midnight, and the end of everything, you’ll find yourself emwracing certain doom, solving puzzles, playing with gears, and finding secrets! I'm sure finishing all that will do more than to simply delay the inevitable.

Controls

  • Move - WASD or Arrows
  • Wait - Spacebar

Tips and Tricks

  • You only have seven seconds, on the ground their are Time Runes that advance time. On top of the walls you may find Chrono Arcana that can rewind time.
  • To activate a Chrono Arcanum it must be connected to a chain of gears. Unpressed buttons and missing gears could be keeping it off. To activate one try pressing buttons and finding a replacement gear willing to sacrifice itself.
  • You will find Clockwork Automata around the world. They can be programmed, and activated to carry out a set of instructions. The player or another automaton can ride on top of them. They can press buttons, and if compelled, could probably replace missing gears.
  • There are seven golden stars you can find hidden throughout the world.
